Front frame is a real pain in the but, just looking at the build table, do you think it quite up to the job, joking it looks great

Good start Jason....take as many pics as possible as it is a great way to remind yourself how you did it, also because some builds will take a couple of years and it is easy to forget.

It looks very nice, congratulations
I did my front frame twice also, before getting it OK...
Good luck for the rest of the build, you look to have good equipment/working place (lucky you!)

I did do the bottom on some ply but was as stable as I'd like so put it on the table just added some 2x1 in places.

I was not Phil, you just supplied me a constructed front frame.


I wouldn't use a timber base again, mine sagged all over the place
